No, his two years haven't been too long but just enough for us to see that he probably isn't up to it.

I wouldn't be upset if he stayed, but he's regressed since last year I feel.

Fair enough, although I think you're being too critical on this occasion.

After the Casey match we can say goodbye to Spencer(5th),Michie(zilch),Trengove(4th),Grimes(5th),M.Jones(zilch),Newton(zilch),Terlich(zilch),Dunn(4th) and Garland (4th). In brackets is the draft pick we could command ( more like pray for) ANB and Kennedy Harris may survive,we need someone to get rid of for next year.

I think you should change your name to TSIMISSEP


Mitchie (R) - gone. 

King (R) - gone. 

White (R) - gone. 

Grimes - gone. 

Terlic - gone. 

Newton - gone. 

Dunn - trade. 

Garland - trade. 

Spencer - no choice but to keep.

ANB - keep.

Trengove - just signed so looks like he's staying.

JKH - keep. 

Obviously Oliver, Weid and Hulett will be on the Dee's list next year.

Wagner will be upgraded.

Going to be challenging to bring too many kids in this year with no first round pick and Hibberd moving to the Dee's

Think Dawes and Pederson might depend on what may go down with Jesse. 

The club sent Pedersen for surgery not so long ago, so I get the feeling they are invested in him as a good depth player. 

 

Now Casey are done, do we expect season exit interviews today or tomorrow, and potential list announcements thereafter?

HL is a required player and will have a great year in 2017.

 

Not convinced

They'll surely let the players have a mad Monday first before doing any of that so I would guess end of the week.

All my Monday's are mad. Not sure what the fuss is about

I suspect in a lot of cases the decisions have been made and the players possibly already know, or have a strong indication of which way it'll go.

Yeah you'd think most players would either know through the year so they can gauge interest elsewhere or they've been around long enough to read the signs. Just don't think anything official will be done until they've had a chance to decompress. Would have noticed how badly Brisbane (was it them, can't recall exactly?) did it by letting players now on the Monday after their season ended.

Wednesday is usually the time when exit meetings are done for majority of the clubs including the MFC. Expect announcement either Wednesday or Thursday depends when they want to officially release it to the media.

Unless you are North Melbourne who do it week 1 of a finals series!

Has 'master stroke' and 'Scott' every been used in a sentence that wasnt sarcastic?

Just a gut feeling from yours truly.

Didn't have a lot of competition for his role before he went down concussion.

Now he has, Hunt, Wagner, Vince (sort of), Melksham and Hibberd.

HL has a decent contract. Can't see him going anywhere unless of course he decides to give it away.

Hope you're right but so far he has done nothing to show that he'll bounce back to cement a spot next season.

To be fair he's not had much in the way of opportunity

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
